3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION.
HAZARDS
Flammable
Harmful
Irritant to eyes
RISKS
Highly Flammable
Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and may cause lung damage if swallowed.
Irritation to respiratory system eyes and skin
Harmful to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in aquatic environment
Inhalation of vapours from this product can cause narcosis and, with continued exposure above the OEL, possible long
term effects.
4. FIRST AID MEASURES GENERAL
In all cases of doubt or when symptoms persist seek medical attention. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
INHALATION.
Move the exposed person to fresh air keep warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or has stopped give artificial

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA.
RECOMMENDED Carbon-Dioxide, Dry Powder, Sand, Foam.
DO NOT USE
Water
This material is Flammable. Use alcohol resistant foam Use dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Keep containers and
surroundings cool with water spray.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS TO FIRE FIGHTING PERSONNEL
Wear protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Fire will produce dense black smoke containing
hazardous products of combustion. Decomposition of products may cause a hazard to health. Cool closed containers
exposed to fire with a water spray. Do not allow run off from the fire fighting to enter drains or water courses Vapours
can travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES.
SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS
Exclude sources of ignition and ventilate area. Exclude non-essential personnel. Avoid breathing vapours. Refer to protective
measures listed in Section 7 & 8. Contain and collect any spillage with non-combustible absorbent material e.g. sand, earth or
other inert material and place in a suitable container for disposal in accordance with waste regulations. Do Not allow to enter
drains or watercourses. If it does the local water company should be notified immediately, in case of contamination of streams,
rivers or lakes The National Rivers Authority. Clean preferably with a detergent, avoid use of solvents.
7. HANDLING & STORAGE
HANDLING: PRECAUTIONS: Use in well ventilated are. Avoid inhaling vapour. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and
clothing. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors, they may
form explosive mixtures with air. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid
vapour concentrations higher than the occupational exposure limits. Additionally, the product should only be used in areas
from which all naked lights and other sources of ignition have been excluded. Electrical equipment should be protected to the
appropriate standard. Exclude sources of heat, sparks and open flame. Non sparking tools should be used. Smoking, eating
and drinking should be prohibited in area of storage and use. Never use pressure to empty, the container is not a pressure
vessel.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS: Store in accordance with the conditions of the licence, which is necessary under the Petroleum
(Consolidation) Act. See the HSE guidance note for Storage of Flammable Liquids in Containers. Observe the label
precautions. Up to 50 litres of such flammable liquids may be kept in a workroom provided they are kept in a separate
storeroom conforming to the structural requirements of the regulations. Store away from sources of heat and ignition. And
direct sunlight. No Smoking. Store between 5 - 25 deg. C in a dry ventilated areas. Prevent unauthorised access containers,
which are opened, should be properly resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Store separately from oxidising agents and
strongly alkaline and acidic materials.. The principles contained in the HSE’s Guidance note Storage of Packaged Dangerous
Substances should be observed when storing this product.

OES = Occupational Exposure Standard.
MEL = Maximum Exposure Limit
OEL’s are from EH40 except where marked SUP, which are assigned by the supplier of the substance.
Engineering Measures
Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of dilution and local exhaust
ventilation and good general extraction. If extraction methods are insufficient to maintain concentrations of particulate and/or
solvent vapours below relevant OEL’s, suitable respiratory protective equipment should be worn.
General
Persons with a history of asthma, allergies or chronic or recurrent respiratory disease should only be employed in processes in
which this product is used under appropriate medical supervision.
Skin contact constitutes the most pronounced hazard. Persons with a history of skin sensitisation problems should only be
employed in processes in which this product is used under appropriate medical supervision.
Hand Protection:
All ppe, including rpe, used to control exposure to hazardous substances must be
selected to meet the requirements of the COSHH regulations.
Polyvinyl acetate gloves. Seek relevant advice from Glove Manufacturer.
Barrier cream may be of help but it should not be applied after exposure has
occurred.
Eye protection:
Eye protection designed to protect against chemical liquid splashes should be worn.
Respiratory Equipment:
Respiratory protection should be worn if there is a risk of exposure to high vapour
concentrations.
Cotton or cotton/synthetic overalls are normally suitable.
General Protection
Skin Protection:
Hygienic Work Routines:
Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet Wash
promptly if skin becomes wet or contaminated. Remove any contaminated clothing at
once. Use appropriate skin cream to prevent drying of skin. No eating, smoking or
drinking while working with this material. DO NOT SMOKE IN WORK AREA!

10. STABILITY & REACTIVITY.
Stable under the recommended storage & handling conditions (see Sect.7). In a fire, hazardous decomposition products such as
smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxides or nitrogen may be produced. Keep away from oxidising agents and
strongly alkaline and acid materials to prevent the possibility of exothermic reaction.
11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
There is no data available on the product itself. Respiratory exposure may cause acute irritation &/or sensitisation of
The respiratory system resulting in asthmatic symptoms. Repeated exposure may lead to permanent respiratory disability.
Exposure to organic solvent vapours may result in adverse health effects such as irritation of the mucous membrane and the
respiratory system and adverse effects on the renal and central nervous system. Symptoms include headache, dizziness,
fatigue, muscular weakness, drowsiness and in extreme cases, loss of consciousness.
Repeated or prolonged contact with the product may lead to the removal of natural fats from the skin resulting in non-allergic
contact dermatitis and absorption through the skin. Splashes in the eyes may cause irritation and reversible local damage.
